My husband and I stayed in this hotel for one night. The room was small but clean and the bed comfortable. The view of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and over theGorge lovely to see from the bedroom window. The only thing that gives this hotel a low score is the fact that at breakfast, which in itself was ok, was... More

I have been staying at this hotel for 44 years. It's not very often 'Jewels' stay the same, I can report that the hotel may have changed its name since I first stayed there. It was called the 'The Grand Spa' and it was very grand - it was the best hotel in Bristol by far. It might not be... More

We revisited the Bridge Cafe last night (Wednesday) and took two friends along What an amazing dining experience.!! One of the best steaks that I have ever eaten and home cooked chunky chips that were divine. I had the prawns to start and they were large, flavoursome and perfect. We finished with puds that would give Heston a run for... More

We visited this wonderful hotel during the May Bank Holiday, the setting is stunning with amazing views overlooking the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the weather was wonderful and we were able to sit on the terrace and enjoy our Prosecco and take in the superb atmosphere. Our room had been newly refurbished and was perfect, again with brilliant views. The staff... More

If the evening is fine and sunny you will be joined on the terrace of this hotel by a crowd of young university students, it seems it is the place to meet on a warm evening. Very cheerful and lively but it can be crowded. Restaurant is good but menu is limited. rooms are ok but could benefit from refurbishment.... More

We visited Avon Gorge fleetingly for one night during March 2013, on a trip from Birmingham to Cornwall as a bit of a halfway house. The hotel had been recommended by a work colleague, and upon arrival we were impressed with the decor and the staff were friendly and professional. Car parking was included which was another plus. Our room... More

I used to stay in the Avon Gorge quite often before my company agreed national corporate rates with one of the main brand city centre chains however the chain in question was fully booked last week so I took the opportunity to return to one of my old favourites. It is ideally situated in the lovely Clifton village, with it's... More

Stayed for one night having booked at the last minute. Great value, simple twin room, plenty of space, bathroom a little tired looking but very clean. Helpful, friendly staff. Had a lovely meal in the restaurant after drinks in the bar area first. Served by a delightful man, who couldn't have been more helpful.

We stayed in a family room which was a good size and fitted three beds easily. Bathroom spacious, too. The room was newly decorated (the hotel is being refurbished for those who wrote of tired decor) and had a great view of the Suspension Bridge & Gorge. I love the terrace, but it was a bit too rainy to enjoy... More

My partner and I stayed here for one night to get away from building works at home (which is just round the corner). We booked a dinner, bed and breakfast deal which was very good value, plus an upgrade for a gorge-view room with balcony. The food at dinner was very good, although it would have been useful to know... More
